If I were a low performer, then I guess competition would be okay as nothing phases this person anyhow. Recruiting has been difficult since this other person does not have computer skills, agrees with everything the manager says, and constantly whines about what we do or do not say. Guess for motivating a team, the manager is motivating the high peformers to find a different place of employment where we will be appreciated.

Competitition is great between different companies - it is the basis of an efficient economy, but these companies never work together as teams. By stirring up competition between people in the same organisation you just create conflict, backstabbing and resentment. None of which foster a good working environment. Instead set team goals and let your people figure out how to achecive them. I don’t agree with: Stir Up Competition.
